I have some descendants of most of their children and, of course, their ancestors. Drop me a note to add to or correct any of this information.

Note: I have seen references to Ingram Cemetery as Ingram-Coffey and Ingram-Vickery-Goddard Cemetery. It is located about 5 miles SE of Monticello on the Ingram Coffey Cemetery Road. A map link is included below.
